Why Seasonal HVAC Maintenance Matters
We recommend servicing for your air conditioner in the early spring and your heater in the early fall. This is important to catch any potential problems so that we can repair them promptly. This greatly minimizes your risk of experiencing a costly emergency repair and does wonders for extending the longevity of your equipment. Furthermore, you can ensure energy-efficient operation and optimal home comfort.
Most heating and cooling system manufacturers make it a requirement for homeowners to get annual maintenance service for their units by a certified technician. If you fail to do so, the manufacturer for your equipment may deny any future warranty claims you submit for repair service. It’s always best to ensure you have one of our professionals service your unit so you’re not stuck paying out-of-pocket for unexpected repair bills.
HVAC maintenance is perfect for learning about how much longer your heating or cooling unit is likely to last. This will give you a lot of time to plan ahead for a replacement at a time that works best for you. No homeowner likes being stuck with an unexpected system replacement during the worst of the winter or summer season.
Spring & Summer Maintenance Checklist
Every homeowner should have their very own HVAC maintenance checklist that helps them successfully prepare their unit for the upcoming weather extremes. Some of these tasks you can do on your own while others will require prompt professional assistance. An important start to your maintenance should be replacing the air filter to ensure efficient operation.
Checking the refrigerant in your cooling unit or heat pump will ensure it can effectively remove heat from the air. Both your system’s evaporator and condenser coils must be properly cleaned. Dirty coils can reduce efficiency by making it much harder for the refrigerant to do its job. Another key task is calibrating your thermostat. If your thermostat isn’t reading the appropriate room temperature, it can run continuously without ever getting your home to your desired setting.
Fall & Winter Maintenance Checklist
When it comes to prepping your heater for the winter, there are some key tasks that you’ll want to do. First is replacing the air filter and ordering fuel, if necessary. It’s best to replace the batteries and test all your carbon monoxide and smoke detectors to ensure they’re working properly. Take a moment to walk around to all your supply and return vents to ensure they’re fully open and free from any obstructions that would otherwise block their airflow.
Our professional technicians will take care of inspecting and cleaning your unit’s burners. They’ll examine its heat exchanger and test for any toxic fume emissions to confirm your unit is operating safely. Our technicians will lubricate moving parts, ensure the proper air-to-fuel ratio, and so much more to prep your heater for winter.
Professional vs. DIY Maintenance
It’s important to make a clear distinction between professional and homeowner maintenance. Professional maintenance needs to be done once a year for each system. Its goal is to ensure safe and efficient operation into the upcoming season. A professional tune-up will involve cleaning, inspecting, and testing all the components, including refrigerant, alongside its electrical and safety mechanisms.
Homeowner maintenance is geared toward maintaining that efficiency throughout the entire season. As a homeowner, you should replace the air filter for your system before the upcoming season. Additionally, you should check it once a month and replace it when necessary. During the summer months, it’s best to check your outdoor condenser unit about once a month. If you notice any debris or shrubbery within a 2-foot radius of the unit, it’s best to remove it to allow for adequate airflow.
